Per Matt Hearley: as of 2020, there is a very new and active nest of owls midway up the cliff at the north end of the Neanderthal Wall between Cro-Mag and Up The Red. There is no active nest around the south end of Neanderthal Wall.
As of June, 2017:
The 3 toprope routes at the far south end of Neanderthal Wall (far north end of Allied Wall) have a nesting pair of Snowy Owls. Please stay off these routes until further notice. The park has been notified and hopefully some signage will be put up. The route Rock Rat is included.
As of March 7, 2012:

Mind Meld - restricted March, April, May.

Description
This is a 12 foot neutral boulder with a lot of cobbles that makes for interesting route finding.
Getting There
One can approach from the West (North) entrance to the park as for The Grocery Store Wall. Follow to beginning of Fountainbleau Area, and continue on side of cliff for another 90 feet. Big Blue Boulder will be large boulder on left after the cliff face begins fragmenting. From here, go downhill, perpendicular to the fragmenting cliff face. Go downhill around 70 feet, and you will see it. It is right before Balancing Boulder.
